The Eames Era

The Eames Era is a Baton Rouge, LA band that first caught my attention with their song When You Were a Millionaire. Odds are I discovered them through Pandora. Yeah, I did. I can remember it now. The song appears on their second album, Heroes and Sheroes, which, in my humble opinion is darn good. My favorite song on the album is either Copious or NC-17 and Dear Gabby is nice as well. It's just an all-round solid album with no real stinkers.

Their debut album Double Dutch was released in ought 5 and is also a solid piece of work. Once again, there's not a stinker on the album. Listen for the Sun and Year of the Waitress both really speak or sing to me. As I've posted before, I have no idea what the songs are about, but I love the melody and the arrangement. I'm telling you that I don't pay attention to the lyrics in case they're all girly, like loving your teddy bear, or twisted like, you know killing puppies.

They've also released an EP called Second EP, which has songs that have been featured on some TV shows. I try not to think about it. I'm one of those annoying people who likes to think that they "discovered" a band and then gets peeved when they go mainstream. Actually, I've gotten better about that and I'm happy that they're getting some well-deserved attention.

So, to sum up. Eames Era, Double Dutch, Heroes and Sheroes, Listen for the Sun, Year of the Watiress, NC-17, Copious, Teddy-bear Love, puppy killing, I discovered them.
